Quotes 

• Roderick Femm : Any member of the family refusing to live here, loses all rights to the fortune.

  Morgana Femm : If any member of the family is not home by midnight, every night, loses all rights to inheritance.

  Cecily Femm : The Femm fortune, all of it, is left to the house. The Will can never be changed unless the house dies.

  Tom Penderel : How can a house die? Did you ever try burning it?

  Morgana Femm : I did once - but you can't burn solid rock.

• Cecily Femm : This is Mr. Tom Penderel, he was a friend of Caspar's.

  Roderick Femm : Really? Caspar had some very strange friends. Were you one of them?

  Tom Penderel : No, I'm not strange. I'm American.

• Cecily Femm : Mr Penderel feels he really must leave Femm Hall now. He really must.

  Roderick Femm : Oh, no, no. Good gracious, no! I wouldn't hear of it. Couldn't possibly let you go now, Mr Penderel. You know, it's not every day that we have an American for dinner. Such a treat for us all. I'm sure the others will be delighted.

• Cecily Femm : [Footsteps are heard outside the door]  That's Uncle Morgan. Tom, he's furious you're here. He thinks you're going to take away Morgana. He... he might become dangerous. Again.

  Tom Penderel : What do you mean, "again"?

  Cecily Femm : The last young man that came here tried to take Morgana away.

  Tom Penderel : Yeah? What happened? No, no, don't tell me.

  Cecily Femm : We heard screams in the night and then... He never was found. You'd better get some rest. Do you think you'll be able to sleep?

  Tom Penderel : Yeah, I'll count corpses.
